To my amazing friends and followers (across all my social media),

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to you all. After much thought about not wanting to publish this because it dives deep into my personal life, you all (here on the internet and in real life), has been there for me. I decided to just go for it and share with you my thoughts. Many of you know that this year has been a tough year for me in general. I personally feel that if I did not have yoga and meditation and the never ending support from you all, I would not have been able to handle the many situations as good as I have.

In this love letter to my friends and followers, I wanted to talk about one specific event this year. The  Breakup. I am not going to go into the details of what happened and why it happened, but all that matters is that we are both happy and it was the best decision for both of us. Overall, it was such a learning experience and I am so happy and grateful for it. (: This letter is long overdue but I wanted to let you all know how much I truly appreciate your presence in my life.

The biggest thing that came out of this and that still makes me emotional is the amount of support and love I received. I cannot even tell you how many people have been there for me. I just wanted to reach out to a few all of you and thank you for your love and hugs.

• Alex - thank you for texting me when I needed to keep my thumbs busy. Thank you for letting me word vomit for a few nights in a row. And thank you for giving me some puppy therapy. 
• Vithya - thank you for going to yoga with me almost every single day for a month. You kept me busy and I love making yummy vegan food with you. 
• Mikey - thank you for driving me to work for nearly two weeks. Thank you for helping me pack, and thank you for just talking to me while I was still living up there.
• Amanda - thank you. thank you. thank you. You listened to me for hours on end. You told me  the advice I needed to hear. You let me talk it out. You already know how much I appreciate your friendship but again, I cherish your friendship so much. I love you!
• Michael - thank you for being so open and kind in the not-so-great situation. You talked with me and knew exactly what I was going through because you were too. I am so happy we don't hate each other and that we still share a friendship that still continues. 
• To all my personal friends - thank you for coming near and far to give me your hugs and love. I truly appreciate each and every one of you. <3
• my Tumblr and Instagram family. Your support was the most surprising. THANK YOU. Every time someone sent me a message, I would cry because I love you all. (Below are only some of the messages you sent me.) 

I love you all. The amount of love and support you give me is incredible. I am so lucky and grateful to be part of this amazing community. Thank you for loving me. I hope you all realize how much you have made a difference in my life. I love you!
